I'm using it without data loss incidents for over 1.5 years now. On SSD drive I have encrypted volume. On top of it I have LVM volume. Ot top of it BTRFS partition. I use compress-force=lzo,autodefrag mount options. Works well for personal computer use case. I always follow latest kernel from Debian backports repo. I red that some RAID modes are implemented poorly it BTRFS still.


https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Btrfs#RAID: "Parity RAID (RAID 5/6) code has multiple serious data-loss bugs in it.".

AFAIK, that was true back in July. It likely still is.

I have no opinion on whether using it without it is safe, but I would definitely avoid RAID.


A fix has been proposed recently:

Ha thanks! That what I was hoping for!
